What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Above was yesterday s post that never got posted.
6.4 this am before redressing appointment at doctors.
Foot is healing but looks ghastly.
Feeling better after that.
Mrs L is behaving and other than #8 paying a visit is having a relaxing day.

Been in front garden and mowed the grass with help from youngest. Carrying stuff for me.

Hope everyone is as good as possible.
Best wishes.

194 years ago in 1831 my 2nd great grandfather Tom Green wrote down a very old Scottish fiddle tune transcribed for the Northumbrian small pipes the first time this song had been written down Adrian has found a recording of the song performed by Richard Bultler who held the same position as Tom I will try and link to it but has not worked so far
The song is called The Wild hills of Wannies

Yes thank you that it I tried sharing and copying and pasting the link but was on my phone and it just did not work.
Gives me the chills to listen to some thing from Tom Green’s song book played by someone who had a comparable skill on the pipes to him.
As you can tell from the mangling of the quote that I am using the phone again.
 
Leg day today plus BP and blood test. It took me all my time to get to the car and I felt as though I had climbed a mountain rather than waddled down a ramp. On the way back the wind had got up quite a lot and actually blew me over. Neil had to come and rescue me. Not the best of days. However, although my legs are still bad, my left hand is slightly better even though the wrist is hot and obviously inflamed.
 
Fbg 6.9

Creative....more people sketching...she was walking alone...
I drew it with my finger on my phone screen...I was in the car having a rest and a cuppa from my flask tea, after doing some shopping.. I park on a side street,a little way up, and these are the people who walk across the end of the side street, along the main road...
Ready for sleep now.
Night night
Sweet dreams...

Take care xx

Fbg 7.2 today.
Getting conflicting reports on the weather one minute it’s going to rain the next no rain today I supposed I’m going to have to take the unprecedented step and look out the window.

Same here @JohnEGreen
App says pouring rain all day. But looking out of the window, the sun's come out....
 
6.5 this morning.
Yesterday evening turned out more exciting than planned. Started getting mild symptoms of a UTI. Too late to get to the doctors so decided to go ahead with evening classes in Norwich.

At the start of the second class symptoms dramatically worsened and I apologised to the class that I could not continue with the class and would ring Mr K to take me to the drop in centre.

A class member insisted that she would take me as Dereham is a 30 minute drive from Norwich and she was worried I wouldn't get there in timr. So she drove me to the drop in centre and waited with me. Luckily I was seen quite quickly and when Mr K arrived he was able to rush me to the late night pharmacy before it closed to get the prescribed antibiotics.

Thank goodness that I got the antibiotics because l was passing a scary amount of blood. The nurse said that if I was still passing blood this afternoon I needed to go to.A&E immediately.

Thank goodness the antibiotics worked their magic and am a lot better today. Although feeling really tired the worst of the symptoms have gone.

I hope the antibiotics have helped and that you get over it quickly.

hope your feeling better today.
are you aware that anti biotics come in a sugar free option.. That is what I have been on since last Friday.
you are so lucky to be treated so quickly.

a really good 6.1 this morning on the eve of being a septigenerian.
another visit from mental health nurse and a review of Mrs L meds is coming.
Mrs L admitted that all the bad things that Mrs L keeps thinking about. Has happened in the house we live now. And the majority of her good memory is back in her parents home, with her siblings, parents and our first couple of kids. Our marriage and other family memories.

Mrs L is supposedly having a siesta. So I've got my stupid foot up and posting.

Another round of getting a redressing appointment, had to go through 111 again. But I got one on Wednesday next. It's madness! No, not Suggs and Co.
Great band live.

It has rained here on and off. Very cloudy. But quite warm. (Except Mrs L who is freezing, Mrs L tells me!)

Have a great birthday eve of yours truly. Gammon is soaking. And I'm just wondering if I will get spoilt again?
I do not believe I will be posting tomorrow, for some reason.
How did I get this old?
Bless you all.
Have a lovely weekend, cos I intend to and so must you.
Best wishes.

Happy 70th tomorrow. Hope it is a good day for you and Mrs L. Hope, also that you will get spoiled - you deserve a little spoiling.

EDIT: Sorry, I miskeyed 70 for 80. Happy 70th tomorrow.

No harm done, thanks. I must have bounced.

I was wearing my big, thick, sheepskin coat bought for me by DIL about 5 years ago and hardly worn until this year. It is long (almost down to my ankles) and big to get around me. Wearing it, I look like a big, dark blue, sheepskin barrel, with little feet sticking out at the bottom. This year, I don't care if I look ridiculous - it's warm - and, it seems, bouncy.
 
Good post national bin day Morening and pre weekend day.

Blood sugars this morning were a very acceptable 7.2

@krystyna
I’m glad you are a lot better today.

Yesterday me, me’s and myself were celebrating someone’s birfday, no not mine.
I broke all the lowish carb and diet rules. I would do it again as well.

When I started writing this posting 3 ish hours ago it was morning, but now it’s well into the afternoon. It’s also nap time, therefore I’d better post this post now or it could well become tomorrow’s post.

Happy birthday @Lamont D for tomorrow.

Posted in haste before I napppppppzzzzzzzzz

The antibiotics are working like magic @Annb. I think that getting them so quickly after the severe symptoms started really helped. Today the worst of the symptoms have subsided.

I have rested, relaxed and slept for most of the day, except for the hour when the dog trainer came and texting this evenings class members to cancel classes.
